2018 Genesis G90 5.0 V8 RWD – Road Test Review

Here’s the secret in full-size limos from the premium brands: they are all pretty splendid to drive and have in your life.

The speed and road presence alone of driving a land-yacht of a vehicle is enough to earn serious respect on the road.

And they all class up a driveway like nobody’s business.

The new class is all turbocharged and uber-packed with tech — to the point where even the new LS500 crosses the $100k threshold in a huge hurry.

Does the new G90 really run with the big dogs like the S550, 740i and A8L in the fastlanes of 2018?

It also comes with standard twin-turbo six power and offers AWD or RWD for the standard and uplevel 5.0L flagship V8.

Genesis has an alternative answer – packing a roaring naturally-aspirated V8 and a backseat for kings. A platform as rigid as the best and suspension from the gurus in Germany. And finally, a leathery luxury inside the is so credibly, globally premium that its charm is undeniable. All this paired with everything-standard pricing in the $70s?

Makes for a superlux limo that actually feels like great value.

Our goal was the see how the simplified interior tech solutions and upstart badge and style feel on the road. We came away thrilled with this best-of-2018 machine — one that floats like a cloud, yet roars like thunder!

Check out the performance drive review below along with a massive photoset of the G90 inside and out.

2018 Genesis G80 Sport RWD – Road Test Review December 18, 2017, 6 pm G80 Sport has the dark, sporty and sinister makeover of our dreams. This luxury sport sedan has been a popular favorite among CRD writers around the country in the last few years. We’ve watched the brand go from a fledgling offshoot to a stand-alone division whose products threaten Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and BMW ownership of the luxury sedan marketplace. Is it weird to be proud of how far Genesis has come? Perhaps. 2018 is a big year for the big G. The model range has the traditional G80 from about $40k, G80 Sport and a new-for-2017 G90 flagship limo. Soon…

2018 Genesis G80 Sport AWD – HD Road Test Review October 16, 2017, 1 pm Imagine you really love a new luxury sedan for its stellar platform, proportions and sporting potential. This car is genuinely large versus its mid-size rivals in the $40k-60k segment. But you have specific high-performance needs for every inch of the vehicle. Your rocket-limo must be blacked-out and badass from all angles. Especially the driver’s seat. Genesis G80 is that luxury car, and the G80 Sport is the performance special of our dreams. This machine is a thorough answer to a wishlist we had for more power and glamour from Genesis. G80 Sport proved its awesomeness in a week of…

2018 GENESIS G80 Sport AWD 3.3T – Road Test Review – By Ben Lewis November 29, 2017, 9 am BMW, Audi and Mercedes: better check your mirrors. There’s a new brand breathing down your neck. Hyundai. Yes, Hyundai (hey wasn’t that their ad campaign a while ago?) In this case, it’s the Korean automaker’s luxury division, Genesis. From the get-go, Genesis has taken serious aim at the luxury market, and while early cars where Hyundai Genesis models like the Coupe, it has slowly divested itself from the mothership, and become a stand-alone luxury brand. Well.. sort of, they don’t have stand-alone dealerships yet, so the lavish love you get from The Europeans, Lexus, and others is sadly missing.…

2018 Genesis G80 Sport 3.3T RWD – Road Test Review – By Ken “Hawkeye” Glassman December 4, 2017, 11 am If you were asked to name luxury automobile manufacturers today, your answers would be somewhat different based upon your age. Those of you above the age of 45 would most likely include names like Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus Cadillac, and Lincoln among the top brands. One brand you wouldn’t likely think of would be Genesis, or the brand that spawned it, Hyundai. But if you were under 45, I’d bet you’d have those two brands in the mix, and near the top. The reason is that so many younger drivers have grown up with, and have enjoyed, the ownership…

Road Test Review – 2018 Genesis G80 3.3T Sport – By Carl Malek April 11, 2018, 10 pm With all the buzz surrounding the Genesis G90 flagship sedan, as well as the recent news the brand made during its appearance at the New York Auto Show. It can be easy to forget about Genesis's other sedan offering, the G80. Originally starting its run as the Hyundai Genesis, the launch of the new brand forced the luxury laden Hyundai to transform into the newly renamed G80, and up its luxury and performance credentials at the same time. But can the G80 still stand out from not only the bigger G90 sedan? but also a field of opulent entries?…

Road Test Review – 2018 Dodge Durango SRT 392- Road Test Review – By Carl Malek June 5, 2018, 10 pm In an era where fuel economy and a push for green technology are becoming paramount initiatives in the automotive industry, FCA and its SRT performance brand are still providing customers a lineup of vehicles that aim to defy political correctness, while also pushing the boundaries of performance even further. While the bulk of the spotlight is centered around the growing family of Hellcat powered offerings in its stable, as well as the limited production Dodge Demon, SRT has not forgotten about its other models. One of these is the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT which aims to transform an already…

2017 GENESIS G80 AWD 3.8 – Road Test Review March 31, 2017, 12 pm The Genesis G80 is a real luxury-car hero around here. The car's beating performance heart is evident every time we have the pleasure of snapping Sport mode on and the throttle down. Here is a long-wheelbase limo that handles! The AWD upgrade on the G80 3.8-liter V6 makes a fantastic case for itself on the basis of handling alone. WHat it brings to the table is a precise, grippy nose and unshakeable confidence around fast corners. The Big G as a standalone brand for 2017 kept this car essentially the same as 2016. With the car business -- and…

Road Test Review – 2016 Hyundai Genesis AWD 3.8 January 10, 2016, 1 pm 2016 Hyundai Genesis AWD 3.8 Review By Ken “Hawkeye” Glassman With a major makeover in 2015, the second generation Hyundai Genesis continued it ascension in the ranks of luxury cars. While there are few changes to the 2016 model year, the Genesis continues to amaze with its price, content, and quality. The sedan is quickly distancing itself from luxury models coming out of Japan and Germany, which it rightly rivals, in the “bang for the buck” category. Simply put, you can’t find another car in the marketplace that has the features and performance of the Genesis and not…

Road Test Review – 2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 RWD November 16, 2014, 7 pm 2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 Review By Ken Glassman If you got behind the wheel of the new Hyundai Genesis 5.0 and didn’t know who manufactured the car, you’d swear you were driving a German luxury car, like the E-class Mercedes, or 5-Series BMW, or Audi A6. Only after looking at the price tag would you know that it couldn’t be one of those European makes, because a similarly equipped German sedan would cost at least 6 to 10 grand more. The Genesis is both an outstanding car in its own right, and an outstanding value. V-8 engines are…

HD Road Test Review – 2016 Hyundai GENESIS Ultimate V6 RWD February 1, 2016, 3 pm Our love affair with the "impossibly good" Hyundai Genesis just got stronger for 2016! Testing out a rear-drive version of the 2016 V6 is a nice counter-point to the V6 AWD we fell so hard for a few months ago as a 2015 model. The 2016 Genesis has a few very notable updates to the V6 model lineup: standard HID headlights and available LED foglamps for the V6 -- lamps that were previously a V8 exclusive. And even better, the Genesis now runs its gorgeous -- and standard -- LED headlamp accents as the main DRLs for normal driving.…

2017 Genesis G80 5.0 Ultimate – Road Test Review – By Ben Lewis February 15, 2017, 5 pm Heads up: you need to be on the lookout for 5-0. In this case, it’s not Steve McGarrett and his task force careening around on Oahu. It’s a luxury sedan from Hyundai’s newly-minted Genesis division, and in this case, it’s looking to take on the existing marks including the highly-prized BMW 5-series. And you know what? We might opt for the G. It’s that good. First, some housekeeping. The name Genesis has been around for a bit. In 2009, we had the first Hyundai Genesis sedan, and then it was freshened up for 2015. For 2017, though, the Hyundai has…

2017 Genesis G90 5.0 Ultimate RWD – Road Test Review – By Ben Lewis March 24, 2017, 9 am The hunt for the elusive Luxury buyer is on with the all-new Genesis division. We recently tested the G80 sedan, and came away mightily impressed – a dynamic, stylish, beautifully-equipped competitor to the BMW 5 series. But for the price of a lowly turbo 4-cylinder Bavarian, the G80 had 5.0-liters of rip snorting V8 muscle. While Genesis is on safari for luxury brand competitors, it doesn’t stop at the G80, because with the larger G90, the brand is taking on the big game – Lexus LS, BMW 7-series and Mercedes S-Class. So, does it come home with a trophy,…
